Introduction
I am so excited for you to go through the content in this course. Animal Medical Intuition has been one of the powerful tools that help me to stand out in the sea of animal communicators. It is not an overnight endeavor, meaning, like everything else in this program, practice makes purrfect.
And guided practice creates even more perfection, accuracy and laser focus.
How is this different than regular medical intuition?
Most of the animals we are going to communicate with are quadrupedal. That means they are on 4 legs. While 60% of their body weight lands on the front end, the hind end is the “engine” that lifts off. We will talk more about this in Lesson 10: Gaits.
And gaits, the animals’ manner of walking, trotting, cantering and galloping is part of what distinguishes animal medical intuition from human medical intuition. The regular psychic, medium or medical intuitive may or may not be able to sense what is going on with an animal even though the dog and cat digestion is faster and the horses’ is slower, and they may or may not be able to understand the nervous system. But they likely don’t understand what happens to the right shoulder if the left hind leg is impaired.
That is why I want to help students become masters at this to rule out the subtleties of soft tissue, or nerve sheath damage or many of the other things that happen to an animal based on their movement so that the animal gets the proper healing treatment.
Another solid reason for perfecting the animal medical intuition is because there are often ways in which an animal is protecting themselves by lashing out or their personality dims due to pain. It’s important in behavioral issues, household dynamics and the relationships between humans and animals or animals and the other animals in the household or their world in general to be able to determine whether or not this stems from aches, pains or and underlying condition.
It is not easy. One of reasons I teach this separately is because you can lose confidence after building it up through animal communication studies. I always say with animal communication there are 4 muscles:
- Getting quiet and neutral (meditation)
- Telepathic communication
- Trust that you are receiving information
- Confidence that you can do this.
All of that gets a little wobbly if that isn’t in place and you add animal medical intuition in to early. The more stable you are with the first 4 muscles the more easily you will trust this process.
The other muscles that get added in this are:
- Scanning auras and bodies
- Detection – where is the ache or pain? Which tooth? What muscle? Which organ? And is it old or new?
But like everything else, this takes time, practice, verification and guidance.
As far as the actual work goes, it will be amazing to watch as you master this work. There is a lot to learn but when you put it all together, it is magical.
Remember……
Whether human or animal, the body is this amazing complex structure that is built to heal and regulate itself in any given circumstance. Homeostasis is the regulation of temperature, equilibrium between elements, and balance of physiological duties. When in trouble, or too much of an imbalance, homeostasis can be the body’s response to fighting to stay alive. Any physiological, mental, emotional, or environmental stress is always nipping at our potential for balanced, perfect health.
About This Course
I love to imagine there is an animal communicator/medical intuitive in every veterinarian office. What would it take to be valued and recognized in the medical community? It would take self-respect, self-reflection, accuracy, and professionalism. Those same qualities would come into play for any client.
While we can’t diagnose, unless you are a veterinarian already, establishing a language for yourself where you can describe the condition or injury is part of the professionalism. Speaking a simple language with and for the client. That means, we don’t have to have the exact organ, tendon, ligament, you can describe an area, but you must be able to break down what it feels like for the animal.
In this course, we use the chakras and meridians as a way to break the body down and work in certain areas or understand certain functions. This information is for us. While it sounds cool to talk about chakras, the everyday person or veterinarian may or may not understand what you are talking about. They may look at it from the energetic or emotional stand point and miss the physiological urgency. And as far as meridians go, it is the same thing, this is a map of the system for us. Unless you are trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is likely information that is for us to manage and make sense of the body and its energetic functions but speaking a clean, clear language to the client is preferred.
Being in relationship with your own physical body, your own emotions and your own energy is what is required here. While you will have a great skill set after all is said and done, you will also have a new relationship with yourself.
Pedestrian Look at the Physical Body
(excerpt from my book, Energy Healing for Animals [Sounds True])
Let’s take a super pedestrian look at the physical body. Let’s think of it as a state: as though your dog or cat or horse—or even you—are a very small version of, say, Colorado or Rhode Island. The skeletal system forms the state’s foundation; that’s solid rock. The nervous system serves as the central electrical and communication grid for the state. Then we have the circulatory system, the vast network of highways that transport blood everywhere it needs to go—which is pretty much everywhere. The lymphatic system contains the back roads of the state—some paved, some gravel, some dirt—which carry less familiar but no less vital fluids through the system.
The muscular system? Well, that’s a blue-collar industry, the nuts and bolts of commerce, while the respiratory system is a white-collar sector, also essential to production but more refined in how it works. A state’s population ebbs and flows, of course, and it corresponds to the reproductive system. The skin is the landscape you see on the surface, with all its curves and angles and shadows. What about the energy plant and a waste department? You get a twofer there: the digestive system, which processes fuel and eliminates what’s not used. And then there’s the endocrine system, which I like to think of as the state capital because it reports to all the other departments. Each organ is a presiding statesman, complete with staff, whose charge is to work with the other organs to make improvements and solve problems. The staff is especially important: for every great organ, there has to be a great backup system. The memos that constantly travel between dignitary and staff? They would be the hormones, making sure everybody has the latest news. These systems all work perfectly together when an animal or a person is in good health—that would be a well-run state full of happy citizens.
So why describe the physical body this way? Because it’s easy to relate to. Let’s say you’re a person with a dog that suffers from arthritis. You don’t need a degree in anatomy or physiology in order to think up some of the ways you might give your pet relief. You mostly need a sense of how things flow when the ship of state is sailing well. A basic understanding of how systems work together as a whole, including the influence of emotions and the environment, is a big help as you approach healing modalities.
Animal Medical Intuition is as important a skill as animal communication, yet has its own purpose and need.
You could take this skill set alone and work in a veterinarian’s office. You could help the veterinary community in the subtleties of a diagnosis. You could also help by explaining how the animal “feels” physically to help a vet, chiropractor, or massage therapist to help create the next round of treatment.
Animal medical intuition, when used with the “essence and favorite things” of the core personality of the animal, gives us an even bigger insight into behavior. An animal may mask pain, yet it comes out in aggression or frustration. So that sweet dog is suddenly biting. Or that horse with a great work ethic is bucking. Or that cat that upholds all rules is peeing out of the box. Much of this can be attributed to pain.
While animal communication has a minimum of 3 types of interpretation via telepathy, i.e. pictures, words and feelings, animal medical intuition has a minimum of 3 levels of understanding:
- Scanning the body and sensing/feeling it
- Being able to see or sense the aura
- Having sensations in your hands as you imagine your hands are tracing the physical body
You will learn about all three in the course. There are other materials here in the lessons to illustrate animal medical intuition at work.
Again, while the anatomy, physiology, meridians, energetics are broken out by chakras, it is always encouraged to see the whole being.
Homework
Do the self scan with yourself every morning and every evening. I am lucky because I do an energetic technique called the Scalar Wave every morning before I meditate. The first part of the technique involves “running energy” which is also a self scan. So I get to check in with myself every morning.
Why is this so important?
I have an old injury to one of my legs. Let’s say I wasn’t aware of the soreness or tightness one morning and I set out to a barn to talk to 10 horses. Well, if all 10 horses had a hind ankle issue, I would have to eventually recognize that I was projecting my own “stuff” on the horses.
Projection is a very common thing we humans do whether it is emotional, mental or physical.
The self-scan is step one for getting as neutral as you can be.
